“What to do when I’m afraid…” Ever been afraid? The Bible says, “fear hath torment.” (1 John 4:18) All of us have faced fear at one time or another… going to the dentist… getting the “report” from the doctor… fear of spiders, rats, insects, loud noises, storms, fear of the future, etc. We have faced many...

Saving Rebecca

Saving Rebecca

Rebecca was about three when someone was going to sell her to a man as a “restavek slave child.” Our Director, Nelio, heard about this and immediately made arrangements to bring her to our Orphanage.
